Are there any benefits to using Muteki or Kyokugen lug nuts?

I've seen a bunch on ebay and I'm tempted to buy a set. I have a set of 17" Volk CE28N and the used car dealer but some crappy lugs on the car before I purchased it.

What is the big difference between open ended and closed ended lug nuts?

And what is the best place to purchase them.

Thanks,

Unless you're running extended wheel studs, you won't need open-ended lugnuts. I wouldn't recommend Kyokugen lugnuts at all. Heard too many horror stories of them stripping. Not too sure about Muteki lugs. Personally, I run Rays lugs on my wheels.

:raiseshand: I'm one of the horror stories. The damn lugs were only put on once, and the provided socket rounded on the inside when I tried to remove them. Had to get creative with cutting the socket, since it's deep, to get to the part of the socket further up that had not yet flared out. Pieces of crap. Don't buy Kyokugen lugs.

any lug nuts you guys would recommend?

i'm just asking because I have mis matched lugs and it's really annoying. I'm not even sure if the lug the dealership put on has a conic/tapered end.

Those are the biggest piece of shit lugnuts out. They might work once or twice but the key will jam on the lugs sooner or later. Just get regular lugnuts IMO, and gorrilla or Mcgaurd locks.

i used muteki on my TE37s when i had them. didn't have a problem. MistaSnipes has my old lugs on his car, he's running Advan RGs, pretty good so far.

I use Ray's Duraluminum lug nuts on my Volks. Paid $110.00

Yep, garbage. Jahnke had a set on his car. Several of them ended up stripped when we tried to get them off. Get Rays or Mugen. Mugen are slightly cheaper.
